This sub-component will support a leading local academic institution to partner with a credible global BPO player to establish a supervisor/mid-management level training program focused on IT/ITES, as the lack of such skills is a consistent challenge faced by almost all IT/ITES companies locally and globally. Hence Bangladesh could further build a competitive advantage through the availability of such skills. A tie up with one of the leading management training institutions in Bangladesh with an international counterpart will be a quick win for the industry.
